The object of the Gordano Valley Archers is to actively promote and encourage the sport of archery. We aim to ensure that participation in the sport and membership of the club will be open to all regardless of gender, disability or race
.
Sunday is our club shoot day. We run a beginners' session from 10.00am to 12.15pm, then the afternoon is the main club shoot. NB GNAS safety criteria must be met at all times. Coaching is available for advanced archers during Sunday morning sessions.
Summer - 12.30pm meet for 1.00 shoot. Please arrive promptly so that we can begin shooting on time. Note, during Sunday afternoon sessions coaching should not be expected.
Winter - 12.15 pm meet for 1.00 pm shoot at the latest.
We also have a club shoot Tuesday evening 6pm until the light goes, usually just before 8pm. Coaching can be available during these sessions.
After completing the beginners' course, all archers must join the club if they wish to continue shooting.
In line with the sport's governing body, the Grand National Archery Society (GNAS), membership runs from 1 October to 30 September each year. The fees for the current year 2010/11 are:
Juniors - £15.00
Adults - £80.00 (this

Each time an archer shoots, a 'boss fee' is payable: The boss fees currently stand at £3 per archer, unless paid by standing order.
